ChickenHole Base Ep 25: Greenhab Cooling

My favorite Minecraft Survival series

You forget to close the door because you don't have checklist. Every astronaut has a checklist.

Put a few small fans in the greenhouse to rustle the plants, it'll help em strengthen up to stand tall.

Love to see a new update! You’re working on the off-planet life-support dream of a thousand engineers stuck in the office.

I love that full room pipe heat exchanger. Never thought of trying something like that but it would be perfect for a lot of barns and workshops. Could do geothermal with nothing but a continuous pipe and a pump. I like that there's no moving air so it could operate completely silently. Would maybe need to be clever about how condensation runs down the pipes so it doesn't rain on your stuff in a non greenhouse application

Cody you reminded me of my rooster. He was extremely smart. He would always sleep right at the entrance of his home, protecting his chickens. Whenever i would give him anything, he would immediately drop it on the ground and call the chickens. He always knew me, whenever i would sit in the back yard, he would come and sit in my lap to get petted. He really had a beautiful soul. Through every illness, every cold season, he pushed strongly. Only to be stolen by some bikers just a few months ago... I miss him a lot, i grew a quarter of my life with him after all.

From gold mining, through refinery, chainmails, bee keeping to rewarding radishes for being big. Cody, our world would not be the same without your videos! Thank you!

We all need to thank the Patreon members for keeping him alive while youtube castigated him. Let's all make this man roll in cash so we get more of this priceless content.

The plants are fighting for light, that's why they are tall and thin. It's quite not bright enough for them. You need a fan or other way of having a constant breeze just like outdoors has. That's why they are pliable and don't stand up well. The breeze works a plants stem almost like lifting weights builds muscle. Microscopic rips that heal tougher and stronger than previously. The flavor directly comes from minerals in the water and growing medium. Get some worms and a little heavily mineralized soil and decaying organic materials to add to your plant boxes. Work castings are amazing plant nutrients and the mineralized dirt/ organic materials will slowly break down from plants and worms and water. Fish emulsion is good for a quick fix. A couple of cheap solar panels could give you fan power and even a grow light or two to brighten up the container. If you don't want worms directly in your soil, make a bucket worm farm to get castings,chicken feed and fish bait . Some trout worms or Canadian crawlers from a sports shop will work well and will die in the desert so they won't become invasive.the hardest part is keeping them cool enough.

"its been about 60 days scince the last episode was filmed" we know cody. we know. we await each one

Can we all appreciate how he made all those plumbing connections without any leaks?

The plants may need the wind to tell them to grow more roots. Trees are like that, at least. A fan would go a long way

All i need to see after a long day is another episode of chicken hole base.

If you use 45s instead of 90s for the vent pipe it’ll help… I’m a plumber and we only use 45s for vents/fresh air movement

"Critter acquitition & termination systems" 😂 Cheers from a much wetter & greener rural Portugal - thanks, Cody! @HowardsPortugal PS We call Arugula "Rocket" - appropriate name for a plant on your project! Pps If you put in a 1000litre IBC inside, it'll regulate the temperature...latent heat warms the water during the day etc...then you'll need less pumping!

Those who think this is Minecraft are mistaken. This is a straight-up Stationeers LARP. Stationeers is a settlement simulator with a decent thermodynamics model, so systems like Cody's are the norm.

As an ex-chicken-owner, I highly suggest getting an automated sliding chicken door for the chicken run. All it takes to lose an entire flock is forgetting to close the door just once when a fox or raccoon decides to come by in the evening or early morning. If you never have to manually open the door to let them roam, you also never have to remember to close it. There are fairly cheap kits; mine was a cheap 12v battery, a trickle charger solar panel, an auto-reversing motor and a timer. All told, I think I spent $70 on it, and it worked without fail for three years, winter months included, and that's with the 12v battery also driving a grain-scattering feeder (to get them to STFU in the morning by giving them something to do). We'd still have chickens today if the humans hadn't given in to the chickens wanting to be out at 5am every day during the summer...

Rip King. I'm sure your final fight was glorious. Maybe you even took an eye out.

If you have Internet on base you should run Home Assistant on a raspberry pi and digitize all of your sensors. A zigbee network would allow you to track temperatures, humidity, etc, and chart data over time. Also you can automate anything on the network like valves, etc.

Something my grandfather did, and it was a bit of genius on his part both for the recycling aspect and for using an already existing bit of tech. He used a toilet tank to water his plants, it filled automatically, and all you had to do was "flush" it to water the plants to deliver a roughly metered amount of water. You could probably set up a similar if not identical setup. Have a large reservoir that feeds into a flusher setup. Might take an extra solar setup for a pump to feed the toilet tank or just do a gravity feed, whichever.
